How A Phase Converter Works

A phase converter is simply a rotating machine, much like a motor, that converts single-phase utility power into 3-phase electricity to operate 3-phase equipment.

What is A Phase Converter

A phase converter is simply a rotating machine, much like a motor, that converts single-phase utility power into 3-phase electricity to operate 3-phase equipment. Phase converters are typically applied where utility 3-phase is unavailable or too expensive to install.

Why Should I Use a Phase Converter

The principle advantage of a phase converter is a matter of economics. Electric utility companies typically charge substantial fees to extend 3-phase service to areas not currently served. Charges vary by terrain, but it is widely accepted that line extension costs range from $30,000 to $90,000 per mile with a common average being $50,000.

The Right Converter for Your Application

A single to three phase converter is the most economical alternative to utility 3-phase. A successful phase converter installation requires knowledge about how each application creates a different type of load, and how these different loads impact 3-phase converter performance. In our 45+ years of experience, Kay Industries has replaced many other brands of failed phase converters.

How Converters are Rated

Phasemaster® Rotary Phase converters are the most conservatively rated phase converters you can buy. To understand why we say this, you need to know a little about frame sizes, and why the frame size is important to rating a phase converter.
